Upgrade your reading list with this one weird trick!
(a blog post, by me)
https://slothrop.org/2025/11/17/upgrade-your-reading-list-with-this-one-weird-trick/
I've completely abandoned any promotion since my book, Drystone - A Life Rebuilt came out in August because honestly, I'm sick of it. Sick of talking about myself. Sick of thinking about my past. Sick of being online loads. All three are incredibly bad for me. So, while I'd love it if you bought my book (it's genuinely really good) I'm not willing to rinse myself to persude you.
(Either I'm fucking terrible at promotion, or I'm twenty years ahead ;)

Release Day!
Today, you can finally grab Steps of Courage, Twin Worlds 1, from your favorite store (except for Apple, of course, they are taking their sweet old time again)!
And if you want to get a file, rather than a license to read, pick the PayHip store in the list, that's where you can buy directly from me.
I hope you'll enjoy the adventures of Sara, Judy, Crash and Krighen!

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading
Explains a lot about the state of USA (and social media), IMHO...
So many people can't read, or can't get a meaning from what they think they just read...
Why so many podcasts, videos, etc.? Well, people won't read your blog posts, they're not comfortable doing it...
I have finished reading:
63: Si Clarke - The Left Hand Of Dog.
What a wonderfully silly story! I am glad I read it. It raises that interesting question of how a human might explain their relationship to their pet dog to an alien who sees the human as the dog's pet!
Anyway, lots of silly and simple sci-fi references to avoid technical terms.
I am now reading:
64: Alice G. May -A New Recruit for the Resistance Girls.
